DR advised fat grafting would provide best results to add upper pole fullness on my LEFT BREAST (non tattoo side). Had my BA 6mo. ago, my folds were off to begin, he lowered my Left Breast fold. DR suggested revision with lipo from flanks and mid thigh to my breast. I love my legs. Would actually rather Flanks and my Abdomen... why did he not mention my abdomen as there and my love handles I have more fat. THANKS.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear peachesandboobies,fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Fat Transfer for implant coverage and contour Thank you for your questions and photos. You do appear to have enough donor fat in the areas you desire to support that fat grafting your surgeon is suggesting. Generally, 30-40 % of the fat doesn't take and gets reabsorbed, so there is a chance of wanting a second fat transfer but this isn't likely decided for at least 6 months post procedure.Best of Luck, Dr. K.
